Chemical Name: Pea Protein Isolate
Content: 80-90% protein, with minor amounts of carbohydrate, fiber, and moisture.
Impurities/Additives: <1% naturally occurring minerals, minor residues from pea processing (e.g. oligosaccharides, phytates).
Other Ingredients: None added.
Allergenic Components: Contains pea protein; cross-reactivity with other legumes has occurred in some cases.
CAS Number: 222400-29-5
General Advice: Remove affected individual to fresh air.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Seek medical attention if there are signs of allergy or distress.
Most Important Symptoms: Mild irritation to respiratory system, rare allergic reaction including hives or swelling.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Media: Avoid high-pressure water jets.
Specific Hazards: Fine dust can form explosive mixtures with air. Burning produces carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting gear.
Explosion Data: Pea protein dust is classified as a weak combustible dust. Proper dust control minimizes risk.
Personal Protection: Use dust masks, goggles, and gloves to prevent irritation.
Spill Cleanup: Avoid creating airborne dust. Sweep or vacuum into suitable container for disposal. Wash area with water after removal.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release into waterways.
Additional Advice: Do not dry sweep large quantities as dust cloud may result. Dispose material per approved local guidelines.
Handling: Use proper ventilation. Wear protective equipment to limit exposure to dust. Avoid generating dust. Handle open containers gently.
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight or sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly closed.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, high humidity.
Specific Use: Food and feed ingredient, industrial ingredient. Do not use for non-intended applications.
Workplace Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for pea protein. As a nuisance dust, keep airborne levels below 10 mg/m³ (total dust) where possible.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust or general ventilation to avoid dust buildup.
Personal Protective Equipment:
- Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or respirator (P2 or N95) for dust.
- Eye Protection: Safety goggles or glasses.
- Skin Protection: Gloves and long sleeves if prolonged contact expected.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling. Clean contaminated clothing before reuse.
